Matthew 2: 1-12<br />
Matthew 2<br />
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem <strong>of</strong> Judaea in the days <strong>of</strong> Herod the king, behold,<br />
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,<br />
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King <strong>of</strong> the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, <strong>and</strong><br />
are come to worship him.<br />
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, <strong>and</strong> all Jerusalem with him.<br />
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests <strong>and</strong> scribes <strong>of</strong> the people together, he<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ed <strong>of</strong> them where Christ should be born.<br />
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem <strong>of</strong> Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,<br />
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the l<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> Juda, art not the least among the princes <strong>of</strong> Juda: for out<br />
<strong>of</strong> thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.<br />
7 <strong>The</strong>n Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired <strong>of</strong> them diligently what time<br />
the star appeared.<br />
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, <strong>and</strong> said, Go <strong>and</strong> search diligently for the young child; <strong>and</strong><br />
when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come <strong>and</strong> worship him also.<br />
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; <strong>and</strong>, lo, the star, which they saw in the east,<br />
went before them, till it came <strong>and</strong> stood over where the young child was.<br />
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.<br />
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother,<br />
<strong>and</strong> fell down, <strong>and</strong> worshipped him: <strong>and</strong> when they had opened their treasures, they presented<br />
unto him gifts; gold, <strong>and</strong> frankincense <strong>and</strong> myrrh.<br />
12 And being warned <strong>of</strong> God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into<br />
their own country another way.<br />
